lfs: verify lfs object content when transferring to and from the remote store This avoids inserting corrupt files into the usercache, and local and remote stores. One down side is that the bad file won't be available locally for forensic purposes after a remote download. I'm thinking about adding an 'incoming' directory to the local lfs store to handle the download, and then move it to the 'objects' directory after it passes verification. That would have the additional benefit of not concatenating each transfer chunk in memory until the full file is transferred. Verification isn't needed when the data is passed back through the revlog interface or when the oid was just calculated, but otherwise it is on by default. The additional overhead should be well worth avoiding problems with file based remote stores, or buggy lfs servers. Having two different verify functions is a little sad, but the full data of the blob is mostly passed around in memory, because that's what the revlog interface wants. The upload function, however, chunks up the data. It would be ideal if that was how the content is always handled, but that's probably a huge project. I don't really like printing the long hash, but `hg debugdata` isn't a public interface, and is the only way to get it. The filelog and revision info is nowhere near this area, so recommending `hg verify` is the easiest thing to do.

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this
extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for
HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is
enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with
the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must
update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be
interrupted.

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

% mk install # do a system-wide install
% hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
% hg # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
